With the advent of the College Football Playoff, we — the Elvii of college football — have joined together to present our weekly playoff nominations to keep the selection committee honest. We call it the TCB Poll.

Each week, the TCB Poll is an aggregate of all our inputs. Scroll down to see individual selections and opinions — this is how we’d like to see the College Football Playoff if we had to narrow the field *right now* to determine a national champion. Images courtesy The Helmet Project.

Things are looking better in the college football world. (Translation: my team won). So here’s my latest four playoff teams.

1. Michigan – They certainly look good against floundering Penn State.
2. Alabama – But I will say Texas A&M is looking more and more like a potential ‘Bama stumbling block.
3. Louisville – But come on, do we REALLY believe Louisville will win the ACC and beat Houston?
4. Stanford – Washington isn’t really living up to the hype, so let’s slot the Cardinal here until a second SEC or Big 10 team comes along.

Another rough week for half of our College Football Elvis brethren. Man that had to have been a wild last few minutes for Auburn Elvis, huh? Here’s the Hawkeye Elvis Top Four:

1. Alabama – Just trudging along through the season. Nothing really scary until they play Texas A&M.
2. Ohio State – Same. Although that Wisconsin match-up could be a doozy.
3. Louisville – Elimination game on Saturday night at Clemson.
4. Houston – They are going to run the table, but really, how good was that win over Oklahoma?

On deck – Clemson, a certain khaki-wearing coached team I refuse to name, Stanford/Washington winner

@IrishElvis

1. Alabama. Wake me when they actually lose a game.
2. Lousiville. How do you do, Clemson?
3. Michigan. Ugh.
4. Houston. If Houston TCB, they may end the season ranked higher than #4.

Next up: Winner of this week’s Stanford/Washington Pac-12 matchup.
